The document provides instructions for an assignment analyzing the immigration systems of three countries. It requires: 1) A SWOT analysis of the US immigration system and two other country systems, evaluating strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. 2) An analysis of immigration benefits for each system to determine the best fit for the student's state. 3) A plan for implementing the chosen immigration program. The analysis should compare immigration approaches in the US and two other countries. The completed assignment must be 12-15 pages long with a minimum of seven scholarly references using current APA standards.

1. Interpret a Current Policy of Three Countries
Instructions
As a scholar in public administration, you are asked to present
options based on three different countries' information for the
next congressional meeting in your state. Be sure to include the
following information:
• Perform a SWOT analysis of each immigration system
presenting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
of each system. You are required to evaluate the United States'
system but may choose two other countries besides Costa Rica
and Ghana as these were already covered in your weekly
resources. Topics such as ethics, history, actors, budgeting can
be incorporated into your SWOT analysis.
• Facilitate an immigration benefit analysis for each system to
determine the best fit for your state (be sure to identify your
state to provide context for your presentation).
• Prepare a plan for the implementation of your chosen
immigration program.
Compare how the immigration system is treated in three
countries (the U.S. and two other countries).
Length: 12 to 15 pages, not including title and reference pages
References: Include a minimum of seven scholarly references.
The completed assignment should address all the assignment
requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and
demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in
the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources,
reflect academic expectations, and current APA standards.

1st Colleague to respond to:
The risks associated with a capital investment project for
medical equipment for healthcare organizations such as
hospitals, as discussed in Week 7, are listed below.
· An inadequate system of budget management caused by
unethical conduct.
· The lack of a clearly defined internal process management
framework
· Insufficient communication channels within the organization.
The information provided by the managerial accountant assists
in making crucial business decisions. Thus, if such information
is fabricated due to the unethical behavior of the managerial
accountant, terrible business decisions may result, leading the
organization and its stakeholders to suffer negative finacial and

3. legal consequences. Nevertheless, ethics involves more than
doing what is legal; it encompasses doing what is morally right;
on top of adhering to the law by providing guidance, it helps the
managerial accountant and the other stakeholders build trust
between them during the course of business interactions
(Franklin et al., 2019). Also, according to Mockaitis et al.
(2012), to empower and increase a team’s productivity, one
needs to understand the needs of each stakeholder. Besides,
without clear communication, the acquisition team believes it
has an adequate budget when it actually does not, resulting in
budget overruns (Vianueva, 2011). Therefore, without an
effective internal process management framework and a lack of
appropriate communication feedback systems, an organization's
productivity will be reduced, and growth will be hindered. As a
result, all the risk factors mentioned above could result in an
organization losing money on capital investments for a capital
investment project for medical equipment for a healthcare
organization like a hospital.
To take on and manage the risks mentioned above, the following
steps can be taken by the organization mentioned above.
According to Gardner et al. (2012), organizations should adopt
a strategic and simple approach to creating a positive impact
that lasts over time. For example, making decisions and acting
accordingly to train the staff would make the implementation of
good work ethics would lead to open communication and
transparent reasons behind every action would help assess
whether the issue is resolved or creates new issues. Besides,
Fountaine et al. (2019) suggested that organizations must
educate all stakeholders to ensure everyone is on the same page,
and there must be sufficient resources for launching capital
investment projects. Through effective communication, one
could understand each other’s needs and minimize the risk that
could occur from misalignment among the stakeholders. The
finance department should invest adequate resources to begin
the project and ensure that it meets schedules and budgets, as

4. well as devote adequate time to planning and preparation since
the early stages of a capital project are crucial to its success
(Vianueva, 2011). Also, by doing so, the organization can
define its internal processes more clearly, create more effective
communication channels and prevent unethical conduct from
damaging budgetary management.
In order to create value for their shareholders, companies must
also weigh risk against return. On page 276 of Brigham and
Houston's text (2022), panel b of Figure 8.1 suggests that when
a company is investing in riskier projects, it should offer higher
expected returns to its investors. Using this principle, high
levels of uncertainty or risk are associated with high potential
returns, while low levels of uncertainty or risk are associated
with low potential returns. From my experience as a medical
student, I have seen that healthcare providers need to have
various medical equipment available to provide quality
treatment to patients. The need for some equipment (such as
autoclaves) may not be financially lucrative but may be
essential for delivering basic care. In contrast, other equipment
may not be essential but is still heavily desired for providing
better care. In Week 7, I discussed how urine analyzers in
healthcare organizations like hospitals could provide accurate
urine results and shorten laboratory turnaround times. Contrary
to this, urodynamic equipment can diagnose urinary symptoms
without referring patients to a urologist. Capital budgeting
methods should be used by investors in order to evaluate
investment opportunities and determine the risk involved in
these types of investments. A relatively high return can be
achieved by determining the level of risk an investor is willing
to accept. Because of the facts above, due to the trade-off
between the risks and possible returns, I recommend that the
capital investment project for medical equipment be carried out.

2nd Colleague to Respond to:
Hello class,

6. A plan for investing on long term assets is capital budget, which
could be for a building and machinery. The risks are not being
able to pay it on time as the agreement states and having cash
flows. The risk is failure by the investee and having the
management drop the investing projects. The capital risk is
losing money from an investment of capital. The capital risk is
having the assets move in an unfavorable manner.
Risk premium must be managed by the organization. The ones
avoiding the risk are those investors in the risk premium. Risk
projects is what the investors would be encouraged to invest on.
When there I less risky projects then there are lower returns
than those of risky projects. An example would be treasury
bonds. Having a risk-free rate is having a low-risk investment
rate like from government-backed securities. All and any risks
will need to be managed through certainty. Forecasting
techniques would need to be used for any appraising projects
and future cashflows. Future events would not give the real
picture of things.
The risk-return adjustment states that the possible return will
increase with the increase in the risk. The principle will be the
individuals that will associate low levels that would be
ambiguous with the low possible returns. The high levels of the
indecisiveness and the risk with high potential returns. If
possible higher losses are accepted, then the investor is also
accepting possible higher profits. Now, based on this I would
say that the project should be moved forward by the
organization.
